Constantin şi Metodie în vechea istoriografie română
Constantine and Methodius in the old Romanian historiography

Summary/Abstract: Every Slavic culture and literature preserves, in some manner, the memory of brothers Constatine and Methodius: either in literature, liturgy, historical writings, or even through the use of Cyrillic letters. Considering the fact that the old Romanian culture displays a strong Slavonic character, many an author have wandered if it also preserves, just like other cultures that have inherited Slavonic Culture, the memory of the "Slavic apostles". The present paper discusses mentions of the historical characters Constantine and Methodius in Romanian historical writings until the nineteenth century (chronicles and histories) and it analyzes their origin and use.
